sounds like you are white with like an eight black. idk what the big deal is. tell us about your white heritage 😭

I'm in a similar situation (mom is mixed and looks brown, I take after my white dad) and what works for me is just saying I'm white but staying connected to my mom's dad's mom's culture

OK, so how genetics works your dad’s dad would be 50% white 50% black, depending on whatever your grandma was, your dad would then get a random makeup from his dad a 50% that could come from either black it’s not exclusive. So we don’t know that genetic makeup of your dad so we can’t tell you.

To answer your question, you are whatever you wanna be dude. If you wanna identify it, white identify as white. Because you are just you

aaaaaaa my brown side was so racist too 😭 like they would never acknowledge they're native unless they were taking us to the rez, but it's like it's not an identity they let my mom or her dad take home
